Sensing that God exists (on a balance of probabilities) can be very calming and lead to a person being happier and more contented.

And it is not divorced from the idea of living life well.

Many people who claim to know God are able to live their lives well precisely because of knowing God.

You are right that theorizing can be pointless, but most religious testaments speak of receiving information from God. The Jewish testament is called an instruction for living. It explains how to live well.

The Christian testament does the same. I am not familiar with the Quran, so I cannot speak for it.

I see that Buddhism does not have a tradition of received wisdom direct from God, so that is a different path, but I have always been sympathetic to the idea of compassion as the eventual understanding of what to do in this world.

I will read your blog now with interest.

I enjoyed the article especially the part: `He creates man and gives him independent free will so he can co-create and perfect the world with God.’

However I sincerely feel that theorizing about God is a waste of time. Instead we should think of `living life well’.

When I was a child I used to play a game of `5 questions’ with myself.

I start with say Q1: Why do ice cubes float? Answer: Because it is less dense than water.
Q2: Why is it less dense? Normally as a liquid turns to solid shouldn’t it become more dense? Ans: Because of the ‘anomalous’ behavior of water.
Q3: What does `anomalous behavior of water’ mean? Ans: Water tends to become more dense as it cools until 4 deg. C, then it starts to expand. So at 0 deg. C the ice is less dense and it floats!
Q4: But why does water first contract and then suddenly expand at 4 deg. C? Ans: I don’t know, it just does (God only knows!)

What I found when I played these question games is that I could not even answer 5 Questions consecutively about anything! And it always ended with `God alone knows!’

So if my knowledge about the physical things of this created world itself is so limited, why should I be so arrogant to question or imagine or theorize about the Creator of this world?

By the way I do have another answer to `Why ice cubes float?’ It is because God loves all life on this planet! I will be exploring this in my own blog.
